I chose to post at the GPWA, and not here, for the outreach, irrespective of the fact that the GIA has the perfect model for such a thing, and GPWA has none. In fact, I spoke to Michael about it in London, and I don't think it'd be a particular breach of confidentiality to say that he doesn't consider GPWA's remit to extend to players in a major way. That's a pity, though GPWA being an affiliate site, you can understand that.

I am absolutely of the opinion that these things should be hashed out thuswise in public, which is why I've supported J. Todd's recent in-your-face efforts which have otherwise been criticised, irrespective of our noisy disagreement in January. By far the best way is for things to be in the open. The "industry" doesn't like this, it would much rather see everything dealt with behind closed doors with a nod and a wink, papering over the cracks and whitewashing the shit. It isn't good in the long term, because the unresolved shit is still there, waiting to jump out at the wrong time. But short-sighted profit is always the way of the industry.

Still don't exactly know how to make the change, but I know this is the right way.

There seems to have been some kind of bizarre denoument to this thing. I've had unofficial word from someone, a rather cloak-and-dagger message from the player that something's up followed by...absolutely nothing.

I'm a bit annoyed right now, as I have a quasi-impression I'm be messed around with.

The couple of people who know about this, please don't mention anything for the moment, I'll update when I finally get all sides of it...if I do.
